Photography Advice for Your Big Day

Ad

Picking the perfect photographer for your wedding is essential because after the day has come to an end the pictures are one of the few things left to remind you of your special celebration. You want the moments captured to be beautiful, reflect the mood and bring back the rush of emotions felt each and every time you look at them. 

I married just over a year ago and from my own experience I have a few additional tips, relating to wedding photography, which may help any bride or groom to be...

• If everyone sits with their phones and cameras snapping away during your vows, the professional photographer will have trouble capturing pictures of your guests - they are likely to have their faces hidden with whatever device they have to hand. Picture taking can also be noisy and distracting which you really don't want on your big day when nerves are already running high! It might be worth popping up a sign at the entrance to your ceremony to ensure the only photos being taken at this point are by the person you hired. This is something we did and it enabled everyone to be fully focused on the event itself.

Sea Lion Selfies #SatCap

Sea Lion selfies are the new trend according to Jamster who just HAD to borrow my mobile and snap a picture with one last week. We went to the Welsh Mountain Zoo while in Wales over Easter and as the mammals were so friendly and lively going past the window, jumping out of the water and flipping over in the air, we spent quite a while admiring them.

I'm not sure what the random expression is about however!

Have you got a caption for this? - I'd love to hear it.
Have a great weekend.

We all manage to capture a few odd expressions, funny faces or mishaps on camera so why not share them so we can all have a giggle? That's what I will be doing each Saturday and for those that join in by commenting there will be a chance to win some treats each week!

Expressions - Funny Photos

The Mini Mes are fairly used to having their picture taken whether it's to remind us of a fantastic family day out, for work purposes or something completely different, so it's no surprise that more recently they have become obsessed with selfies. They will borrow my phone to take photographs of themselves, usually while pulling random faces and giggling, and I will discover them a few days later when going through my phone. They always make me chuckle.

Another thing they are currently obsessed with is Minecraft and I have the app on my iPad for them to play from time to time. Jamster had asked to play while I was doing Zumba the other day so he and Minxy wandered upstairs to keep themselves occupied while I exercised. Later that evening I

How Does Your Garden Grow?

I received a lovely new camera for my birthday from the Mr, a Canon EOS 1100D (if that means anything to the photographers out there), and as I was keen to test it out pretty much straight away I headed to the nearest spot to explore. The garden!

It is a bit overgrown at the moment and certainly needs some TLC but that's on the agenda in the very near future. In the meantime however, I made the most of the pretty wild flowers and weeds in the sunshine...

Up Close and Personal

Spartan

His wet, delicate nose twitches and his tongue pokes out from between his teeth, as he sits on the cool leather and awaits the day's deliveries.

He knows they will come, they always do, and he will be ready to bark and pounce on anything that gets within reach. That much is true.

His tail waves back and forth like a snake and his ears raise at every passer by and cat, dog or bird that meets his eye.

He sees a shoe approach the path.

He hears footsteps too.

He rises onto all fours and stands on the armrest for a better look with an inquisitive stare.

The red jacket and bag is recognised and he knows his opportunity is there.

"Woof"

He runs to the door, sliding across the tiles like Bambi on ice, to claim the mail as his own chew toy. He also longs to lick the poor postman to death, with the tongue he loves to deploy.
He attempts to run back to alert me of my visitor, but then paws at the handle hoping to get a peek at what excitement lurks behind his barrier.

I gather my mail from the wire tray and return to my seat.
He sits proudly at my feet, in hope of a treat, thinking his job here is complete...

Until the courier arrives and he begins to repeat!

Jamster and I are certainly not morning people, and I am definitely not a fan of pictures without makeup on!
